While we may not all be lucky enough to be gifted with expensive sparkles contained within that famous ‘blue box’ there is no reason that we cannot bring the luxury and beauty of a famous jewellery brand into our home with a classic TIFFANY BLUE colour palette. This fresh and summery colour tone looks wonderful in both traditional and modern homes and gives a bright and illuminating finish that is perfect for smaller rooms or compact spaces.
Colour Palette
This cool and refreshing colour looks great with a wide range of colour partnerships that each create their own unique look and feel within the home. This bright yet soft blue hue can be partnered with crisp white, baby blue and azure for a calming coastal colour palette that looks gorgeous in any living room, bedroom or bathroom area to give a cool beachfront feel with a hint of tropical relaxation. For a more sumptuous and cosy look then why not partner your Tiffany blue colour tone with rich chocolate brown and nougat hues that give a warm yet uplifting ambiance that is almost good enough to eat. If your prefer a more contemporary boutique look then try a blend of blue, black, grey and silver tones that create a luxurious and sophisticated backdrop that is opulent yet feminine.
Cushions
A scattering of fresh coloured cushions will create a focal point against a neutral or bold seating area or bed. The bright and elegant tones of Tiffany blue create a fresh ambiance that is cosy yet crisp. Select a collection of cushions in varying degrees of bright to pale blue for a tie dye effect that is perfect for creating a fresh coastal interior. For a more period style design then select floral or baroque print cushions in Tiffany blue, silver and black that will look fabulous against a plain white or dark leather sofa. For a nod to the true origins of this feminine colour tone then take a plain blue cushion in the perfect ‘Tiffany’ tone and then attach a large white silk bow that mimics the famous jewellery box and its luxurious appeal.
Upholstery
If you are feeling a little tired of your current neutral furnishings then you can create eye-catching areas of colour within your chosen room with a pop of Tiffany blue upholstery that will provide a focal point within your home. Select simple plain satin or linen fabrics and re-upholster your current dining chairs for a fresh and relaxing appearance or why not create a statement occasional chair with a feminine patterned blue and white fabric that looks particularly striking when partnered with a crisp white or glossy black painted frame. For the ultimate in indulgence and glamour then complete your bedroom or dressing room area with a lavish Tiffany blue velvet chaise lounge, complete with heavily carved, silver leaf framework for a palatial French boutique finish.
Accessories
Coloured accessories can really complete the overall look and finish of your home and are a simple and cost effective way of introducing colour into your existing interior decor. Tiffany blue glass and ceramics will look fabulous along a white painted mantelpiece or sideboard and will give a fresh and bright ambiance within the home. A sleek black dining table can be given a glamorous facelift by creating a crisp white and blue table setting with metallic silver elements for added opulence and luxury. If your plain white kitchen or black work tops are looking a little unloved then introduce a selection of Tiffany blue accessories such as a toaster, kettle, mixer and blender and that will give a feminine shabby chic look that can be further complimented with a dresser of blue and white ceramics and accessories.
Furniture
Tiffany blue decor works particularly well with fresh white and grey painted furniture that compliments its soft and bright tones and gives a clean and crisp appearance that is cosy and chic. For a more dramatic and glamorous appearance then select statement silver or painted items such as a dresser, dining table or sideboard that will give a contrasting yet complimentary mix of light and dark tones. If you are feeling particularly artistic then try your hand at some furniture ‘up-cycling’ by taking an old or tired looking table or chest of drawers and painting it with a lavish layer of Tiffany blue paint to create a focal point in a plain white interior. For a more vintage shabby chic look then, distress the edges of the paintwork using light sandpaper and add antique style handles for a personalised furniture item.
